The Paul Waymond Caine Alumni Chapter of the Year Award is one of three chapter honors presented by Kappa Alpha Psi at its annual or bi-annual Grand Chapter meetings. It was established in 1982 at the 64th Grand Chapter Meeting in Detroit, Michigan, by 23rd Grand Polemarch Oliver S. Gumbs. The award is named after the fraternity's founder Paul Waymond Caine. It was first presented in 1986 at the 67th Grand Chapter Meeting in Indianapolis, Indiana.
The Paul Waymond Caine Award is the bestowed upon alumni chapter that demonstrates meritorious achievement in their local community or region. Recipients are selected based on petitions submitted to the Achievement Commission, a 13-member committee appointed by the Grand Polemarch. No more than three awards can be granted during any Grand Chapter session.
